Continuity: In the scene were Mulder writes a message on Skinner's hand, he writes it along the bottom, starting near the baby finger. The next time you see Skinner walking, he reviews Mulder's message, but it is now written on an angle starting at the middle of the hand, leading to the thumb. moreQuotes:
Scully: Where's Mulder?Agent Diana Fowley: Maybe before you go around blaming everyone you can find for what's happened to Mulder you could think about what you could've done to prevent it.
Scully: I just want you to think. Think of Mulder when you met him. Think of the promise and the life in front of him. Think of him now. And then try and stand there in front of me, look me in the eye and tell me Mulder wouldn't bust his ass trying to save you.
Agent Diana Fowley: I'm thinking, Agent Scully. I'm always thinking.

Following on from Biogenesis (Season 6 Finale), Scully desperately tries to discover the secrets of the spaceship beached on the Ivory Coast in West Africa, while Mulder lies in hospital with Skinner and a returning character hoping that they'll find a way to save him.
This mythology episode is a personal favourite of mine because it continues with an interesting topic, over how we came to exist and whether our ancestors were aliens or not.
The only let-down is Diana Fowley (played by Mimi Rogers), a character that I've never really been fond of, who goes around arguing about Mulder being her one true love and that she'll take care of him.
6/10 - Maybe not the best X-Files opener, but 'The Sixth Extinction' will manage to get your attention.
